Par VACCAI NICOLA. This excellent singing tutor presents 15 lessons, all designed to teach the singer both vocal exercises and the use of the Italian language. It has long been thought that the Italian language is best suited to the art of singing, and in this edition, rather than use meaningless monosyllables, Vaccai has set Metastasio's beautiful poetry to each exercise. The lyrics to this 'practical voice method' are in Italian, with German singing translation by John Bernhoff. / Pédagogie / Méthode / Chant
